Script syntax with conditional (IF) to run command considering there is (or not) selected items in list pane

Hi,
I'd appreciate your help.
What would be the script syntax for the following conditional (IF):
If there is any item/folder selected in the list pane, then run:
Code: Select all
run """<xypath>\_Everything\Everything.exe"" -filename ""<curitem>""";
If there ISN'T item/folder selected, instead of the command above, run:
Code: Select all
run """<xypath>\_Everything\Everything.exe"" -filelist ""<curpath>""";
Thanks a lot or your assistance!
Carlos

Thank you very much @highend! I always learn a lot from you.
For documentation purposes, this is my script using IF:
Code: Select all
if (<curitem>) {run """<xypath>\_Everything\Everything.exe"" -filename ""<curitem>""" -d ""<curitem>"""
} else {run """<xypath>\_Everything\Everything.exe"" -filelist ""<curpath>""" -d ""<curpath>"""
}
EDITED following @highend further feedback: remember adding indentation for each line, otherwise, XYplorer will pop-up a menu for choosing which IF clause to run.
Cheers,
Carlos

You didn't indent the lines properly if that's happening

Thanks for further feedback. The former post was already updated.
By the way, from XYplorer script editor, is there any other way to add indentation besides "space"?
For instance, I tried the "tab" key, but there is no effect.

No but seriously, nobody uses that editor to _develop_ scripts.
Use a proper text editor with syntax highlighting...

It seems I need to evolve!
Would you mind sharing the name of your favorite text editor?
